REST OF SEASON OUTLOOK AND POSITION RANK

Tyler Naquin may be worth a roster spot in deeper leagues or may be a decent waiver wire pick up. His 78.49 projected fantasy points puts him at #70 behind Alex Verdugo and ahead of Mallex Smith. He has averaged 1.93 fantasy points in his past 135 games, which is less than our projected per game average. He is projected to average 2.81 fantasy points. His rank based on avg proj (#77) is worse than his rank based on total fantasy points. Tyler Naquin is expected to improve on this season-to-date's #92 fantasy position rank.

START TYLER NAQUIN IN WEEK 22... AHEAD OF RANDAL GRICHUK

Tyler Naquin is projected for 13.78 fantasy points in 5 games which projects to being the #58 ranked outfielder. This may be a week you want to sit Tyler Naquin.
